'The Color Purple' Star Fantasia Barrino Accuses Airbnb Host of Racial Profiling During Family Trip | THR News Video

'The Color Purple' star Fantasia Barrino is saying she and her family were racially profiled by Airbnb.

The actress shared that they were staying at a house booked on the website to celebrate her son's birthday.

She wrote on Twitter, "My stomach is so uneasy this morning.

I don't say much when people do me wrong, but I can't stay quiet on how my family and I were just treated from a host with @Airbnb @airbnbhelp trying to kick my kids and I out at 12:00 midnight.

The host accused us of having a party with loud noises outdoors because they saw balloons being dropped off and a game truck with no generator in the early part of the day." She added, "It's evident to me this was racial profiling and the treatment we received was due to the color of our skin."
